There is an open campaign to appoint six new Trustees to the Board of the Wallace Collection. The six roles being recruited to are:

• Academic/curatorial/conservation
• Architecture/buildings
• Fundraising (at least one role)
• International
• Human Resources 

The Wallace Collection, as you may know, is a collection of the fine and decorative arts formed in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries by four successive Marquesses of Hertford and the 4th Marquess’s son, Sir Richard Wallace.  It was left to the British nation in 1897 and opened as a national museum in June 1900 in Hertford House, Manchester Square, W1, a Grade II listed building in central London. The museum is internationally famous for its collection of French eighteenth-century art, European and Asian arms and armour and for its Old Master paintings.

It is managed by a Director who reports to a board of Trustees appointed by the Prime Minister and is financed by a combination of grant-in-aid from the central government and self-generated income.

Closes 3 May 2023
